Our Christmas Tree Adventure!

The truck was too short to get into a stand, so we had to lay it semi in the hallway and semi in the entrance way to "get to work".


We used bread knives, and an exacto knife to try to cut away branches...sigh, it was HARD! Then Evanna our saviour brought us some huge ass clippers, and Mandy was excited and did it all by herself! Yay Mandy!


Our original tree stand we bought, um....yeah, WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR! Grrrr


Our new GREAT stand. Yay us! Only two trips to Canadian Tire! (or was it Home Depot?)



Finally standing !



Yay! Its our lovely tree. No tree skirt, but oh well, I'm poor atm, so what can ya do!? I love it, especially when the lights are on....
Oh Christmas...so dear to our hearts,
Your starting to get into the Christmas spirit friend,
xo
